inbreds
Products of consanguinity
Inbreds is the plural of inbred—people or animals produced by breeding between closely related individuals.
The term is derogatory when applied to people, implying genetic deficiency or backwardness: Those inbreds have been marrying their cousins for generations.
Rural and isolated communities are stereotypically targeted with this insult.
